Thread: BJ73 Landcruiser

Got my clutch sorted at the end of April before moving down to Invercargill for the winter. Bought a used clutch booster off trademe but that didn't fit properly, so I cleaned up the old booster and chucked it back in as a connecting rod of sorts with a new master cylinder, it worked.

Have done about 1400 k's with no problems since. Managed to get a 11.3 L per 100km highway k's, with a bit of a load of gear on, doing 95-105k's per hour where possible (it's not possible up the hills...)

Got a new exhaust fitted today, 2 1/2 inch system with a free-flow muffler. Cut off the old exhaust a couple feet downstream of the manifold and attached the new system there - when I turbo in the near future, it'll be a matter of cutting it off where it is connected to the old exhaust, throwing that away, and hooking up a downpipes. Welds are a bit rough, reckon I should have bought a welder and had a go myself.



Also got some rad new alloys, 15x7 -13mm offset, whipped off one of my current mystery steelies and the new alloys appear to only have 2-7mm less offset (it's hard to measure) so they ought to fit; I have heaps of clearance around everything. Going to get my tyres fitted to them this weekend.




Anyone recognise these alloys so I can try track down a 5th one for the spare?
